Well I wasn't planning on doing a spin class last night but the people who I'm with on the Thursday spin talked me into it. So spinning I went! It was great! Cant wait for Thursday now. I feel like the class project now. Everyone is so interested in my progress..hehe. Very supportive people. Oh and guys..you all are sooo sweet Now does any of ya have any single decent looking normal brothers or something..LOLL

Good luck with the spin class it's a killer. If you have been working out though it isn't that bad. It's an Intense class to say the least. Just be prepared for some major soreness the first time for a few days..but man spin class is soooo fun! JM I too wish I knew how many miles I biked in spin class..along with how many calories Im burning!

Thanks hon! I'm sore again..all is good..lol

Sometimes I can eat lasagna..well not a whole piece but some. Depends on the day. Anyways still single. I've had some good hits though recently on Plenty of fish so I'm optomistic. Ohhh and this guy at work fixed my puter and I have a huge crush on him..lol. I hope he doesn't have a g/f. I was looking around his townhouse when he was fixing my puter and I didn't see any G/f signs..LOL. I don't know if I'm up to his standards yet if you know what I mean. God I still think I'm 300 pounds I swear. But he knew me at 300 pounds so I think thats what I'm worried about. Anyways I'll letcha all know..LOL Manatee you look hot hon :mad:

Monday night.. had a killer step aerobics class last night...45 minutes Also did 100 crunches before hand :mad: I'm back on track

Lost a pound!!..weee time to change the ticker

Damn I haven't exercised since Tuesday night! Just have alot of things going on right now..teacher conferences and stuff..ugh..On top of it all it's getting crazy at work. It will be till the end of the year. Which means I eat when I get stressed. I don't know what to do to combat it either.Anyways I'll be back at it soon.

Counseling never works unless he really wants to change. The amount of men that actually want to change and actually do are so slim...you have a better chance of winning the lottery. Life is short girl. Why are u wasting it away? It sounds like you know exactly what is going on..but yet you still let it continue. I sure hope one day you get the strength you need to take back your life..it's soo empowering! The feeling is amazing..I can't even tell you what it feels like to have complete control over your life. Now of course..there are some lonely nights..but hell..its peaceful!! NOBODY puts me down anymore..nobody makes me feel like im 2 inches tall...nobody makes me worry about my childs health anymore..nobody makes me wonder if my pets are being abused. You too can have this! I think its fabulous btw that your going to go to some Al-anon meetings. There are also meetings for domestic violence victims too that you might want to think about. One step at a time though. I know I had to loose the weight to feel strong enought to deal with it all. I'm so hoping that is the magic charm for you too. Thank GOD for the band! Take care girl..and keep on posting! We are here for ya Di

If its worrying you then I would bring it up with him. Better than wasting ur time and his. Men can be real oblivious to things..lol

Wow its been awhile since I had a fill but it didn't take me months to get in there. At first I was paying 250 bucks at the 900 office..then finally figured out that I could get insurance to cover it if i went to UIC. Of course they didn't tell me this at first I had to do my research. 1,000!! wow they are screwing the insurance companies big time. But we can't say anything for fear of them not filling us..geezee

Over the years I've had MANY plataus like this. It is annoying but don't fret about it. Make sure you are making the right food choices. Maybe write down what your eating so that your accountable. Like the other person said..if you aren't exercising you are going to have to start. I don't know anyone that has been successful without exercising. Good luck..you'll get past this bump in the road.

Last week at the office someone brought in like 2 pounds of different kinds of hershey kisses in a huge bowl. I had to look at them for a week before they were gone!..ugh..I wish peeps could just keep that stuff at their desks or something.

Last night 30 minutes on eleptical broke up by 15 minutes each Circuit training on the weight machines 80 crunches The halloween candy is already getting to me..geezeee...bad bad bad bad

One more thing I forgot to add.. I don't want to scare you but do you realize if someone outside the home reports the abuse going on in the house that there is a chance they can take your child from you?? Just be careful.

You're not naive! Your just hoping that he'll wake up some day and magically figure out that he's losing you and he'll change. Unfortunately they are wayyyy to shelfish to change. I know the last thing you want is to break up the family. I know how scary that is. But believe me your daughter is watching all of this..she's learning from you that it's now okay to be treated this way. So in the future don't be surprised if she is also abused. I'm sorry it's just the stats. Please please..if your not gonna do it for yourself..do it for her! I'm sorry but he took your computer from you??..YOUR computer like your a child. How is that standing tall? I'm sure he's not all bad..and I'm sure he has his moments that he's a prince. They all do. Do yourself a favor and learn about the "cycle of abuse" and how it works. Take care girl..and keep posting!

Thanks so much! Yeah it was so odd to me because I wasn't experiencing this on the treadmill. I'll try to loosen up my shoes even more. Thanks!

I loveee the eleptical! For nothing else that it burns an amazing amount of calories. One question though. Has anyone had issues with their feet swelling when on it? My feet actually fall asleep about 15 minutes into it. I really can't do more than 20 because its sooo annoying. Just wondered if anyone else had the same thing happenig. Oh and Blooeyes! I am sooo cheering for you! Keep it up girl. You'll see a big difference in your legs and butt soon. It's fabulous :Banane35:

Ohh one more thing. Don't worry too much about your restriction. It will come. This tool truely won't work until you have had a few fills..probably 3 or 4. Just hang in there! happy days ahead.

I was in the EXACT same boat. Hugs to u! I did whatever it took to get out of the relationship that was killing me. I knew I needed to get my self esteem back. The band gave me the confidence to take action and get rid of the controlling loser in my life. No more rollercoaster days for me! Life is too short girl to live like that. Start taking back your life and realize that someone that REALLY loves you wouldn't say things like.."i hope you die". Get your confidence back and find a man that truely deserves you!! Good luck keep us posted. PM me if you want about anything.

Okay Monday night. Did 70 crunches before my step aerobics class. Step aerobics had a sub instructor who decides then at the end of class to do...guess what...ab work!..LOL. A wee bit sore today. The workout was great though. Ohh asked my trainer about the feet falling asleep on the eleptical issue. He said he has heard of this issue before but really does not know why it occurs. He checked my shoe laces and shoes. But said they were great. I'm suppose to contact my doctor about it. I'm really not worried about it..I think it's just annoying. Right now its Boss's day at work. and I'm trying like hell to avoid the donuts and bagles and all the other crap sitting out..ugh!!

You usually have it filled about 6 weeks after surgery. How many times varies. The doctors fill you slowly so less chance of band slippage. I wish you luck with finding doctors in different countries. You might wanna try the Allergan :: USA site. I think they list doctors there.

I feel awful for you! I've never had to experience that. I've always been able to make it to the bathroom. I think through the years I've just learned my triggers pretty well. Anyways I have had accidents in the car though and that is sooo nasty..slim all over the front seat. Thank God it doesn't smell. Anyways..if I were u I would carry in your purse a plastic bag (make sure to check for holes!..lol) This way at least you don't have to right in front of yourself. I keep them in the car now and I just had to do that last week. Well sorry again to hear ur having such a hard time..*hugs* Di

We are with ya hon..just keep posting here! You'll get back into it again. Just remember what u really want out of life and focus :cool:

Weeee party at daddy's house..LOLLL..:eek:

I LOVE my YMCA. It's a family atmosphere and not the meat market of other gyms. I find it loads easier to work out at the Y then at home. First of all my kid gets watched in a fabulous kids center they have. So right there its a huge benefit to me. I get a break too from her. When ur a single mom this is a blessing! Second I have signed up for alot of classes. Classes are far less boring then just using a treadmill. Also it forces me to go. I'm one of those if I'm signed up I have to go. They also have a computer called Fitlinxx that tracks everything I do. It's great! I get points as a reward and I can win different colored shirts for different levels. It's also very interesting to see all the totals that I've done. Like I know I average 200 minutes a week :Banane10:
